Central House is a rather special Grade II listed building - the perfect retreat for lovers of history and aesthetes.

If you’re looking to step back in time a hundred years or so, then Central House might just be the ticket for you. The doors are original, the sash windows too and some of the walls a little wonky - perfectly imperfect. A ‘hotel experience’ Central House is not, but what it is, is a truly enchanting artist's home on the beach - perfect for those looking to escape from it all.

There are two open fires, which ... really do bring the whole place to life and the view from the lounge is truly breath-taking - there’s a real sense of being on a ship when you sit down as your eye is just at sea level.

There are two bathrooms (one on first floor and one on top floor) each with bath, loo and basin. There is also a shower downstairs on the ground floor (please see photos).

The bedrooms are uncluttered and spacious - the two doubles both have sea views (please see photos) and the twin bedroom is situated at the back of the house on the first floor with a view out onto the garden and higgledy-piggledy Georgian rooftops which get the evening sunshine.

Please note that the ceilings in the two upstairs double bedrooms are quite low, which is typical of homes from this period if you are familiar with English historic homes. The stairs leading to these rooms and the top bathroom have deeper treads and a supporting wall rather than an additional handrail, so they may not be suitable for anyone with mobility concerns.

Ground floor:

  • Huge dining room with seating for 8 and open fire
  • Kitchen
  • Downstairs bedroom with French doors out onto garden
  • Hallway leading to:
  • Shower room


First floor:

  • Huge lounge with sea views and floor-to-ceiling windows and window seats
  • Twin bedroom with 2 single beds. (Please note, the twin bedroom has wall lamps only and there is no overhead light, which we feel adds to the charm and character of the house, but realise may not suit everybody.)
  • Bathroom with bath, basin and WC (no shower, though there is a shower on the ground floor)

    Central House has a pretty south-west facing garden. What's more, the house is located right opposite Deal beach - perfect for sea swimming as you stumble out in your robe right into the ocean!

  • Parking

    There's paid parking outside Central House on Beach street, but if you head to the north end of Deal the parking bays become free (about 3 mins stroll).
